Glw the human alarm clock was up and we soon started getting ready,stretch nearly electricuted himself making coffee in the room from a dodgy kettle,me and alan s didnt want to lose to much of our camping experience so decided to make our soup on the gas stove from the boot of the jeep

We walked back towards the cluanie from the car park for a short distance and crossed the road and through a gate and headed up the very visible stalkers path to the col between biod an fhithich and meallan odhar,we all decided to push on and were soon at the start of the dry stone dyke at the foot of the forcan ridge,after fuelling up and alot of thinking me and alan s decided to climb up and do the forcan ridge and if things were bad turn back and catch up with the others bypassing the ridge , there was a short burst of sunshine and me and alan s went for it climbing up and along the ridge it soon clagged in and started to snow and hail stones were dropping there wasnt much to be afraid off until we came to a 10ft drop straight in front of us but we dropped to the right of it and pushed on to the summit really enjoyed this ridge and would do it again.
Glw,alistair and stretch had just been to the summit minutes before us and had dropped back off for some food, there is a path leading away from the summit to the west which we followed for a short time before realising it was the wrong way ,we cut across the snow covered top and found the scree,rocky path back towards bealach coire mhalagain.the others headed off towards sgurr na sgine ,while me and alan s put our fleeces on and had our soup,soon we were on the move again and met the others on top of sgurr na sgine ,the rain was now really heavy and the wind had picked up.
We all decided to head back to the car we quickly dropped off sgurr na sgine and headed up and over faochag ,what a drop off very steep but quick descent crossed over a bridge and across open field to road and back to the car a really enjoyable day with good company whatever the weather
